The Indian team is all set for a thrilling five-match Test series against England, kicking off on June 20, 2025. This will be India’s first big Test challenge since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year. The BCCI is expected to announce the squad on Saturday, May 24. With legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli stepping away from Test cricket, it’s time for some new players to shine. Shubman Gill may take on the role of India’s new Test captain, signaling a change in Indian cricket.
Here are three young players who might make their debut for the Indian Test team:
1.Sai Sudharsan
A promising left-handed batter from Tamil Nadu, Sai is known for staying calm under pressure and delivering solid performances. He’s been on fire in the 2025 IPL, having scored 638 runs so far, the highest of any player. He also did well for India A and impressed in county cricket in England, scoring a century there. His first-class record shows 1,397 runs in 33 innings with an average of 42.33, including four centuries. Plus, his experience in English conditions could give him an edge on this tour.

In the 2025 IPL, he took 16 wickets in 11 matches at a solid strike rate. His first-class stats include 66 wickets in 21 games, and while his average is a bit high at 30.37, he’s likely to improve with more experience.
